Château de Villefranche
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2015) |
The Château de Villefranche is a castle and stately home in the commune of Villeneuve-lès-Bouloc in the Haute-Garonne département of France. Originally built in the 16th century, it was transformed in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Seat of the joint lord of Villeneuve-lès-Bouloc, the castle is a grand house from the end of the 16th century, redeveloped in line with contemporary taste in the 18th and 19th centuries. The residence, surrounded by old parkland and gardens, maintains from the Renaissance era its scale and an architectural doorway. Inside, several rooms are decorated with wallpaper from the 1810s. The out-buildings include 18th century farm buildings and a sheep pen dated 1868.
Privately owned, it has been listed since 2005 as a monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture.
